Nigerian/Cameroonian pop star, Dencia, has launched an online campaign to sensitise Africans about the Ebola virus. The move is also meant to raise money to curb outbreak of the disease as well as treat its victims.
According to the entertainer, her goal is to raise $1million, even as she has pledged $250,000 of her money for the cause.
On her Gofundme page, the artiste said: “Ebola is sweeping Africa, our people are dying, our people have died. Fortunately for us there is a new drug in the market that can help Africans. The ZMAPP is here and we need to raise money for those who can’t afford it. Together we can give someone a new life; together we can help someone who had no hope.
That is why the Dencia Foundation for Hope is here to help raise funds to help these people. All donations will pay for treatments for people who can’t afford the ZMAPP, once it can be purchased. Dencia will personally buy these medications and go to Africa and ensure the right people get it.”
The controversial singer also released a video in which she speaks on facts about the disease.
